winding core for cloth bolts and has for its primary object to provide adevice of this character for winding cloth into bolts of the desiredsize, whichmay be subsequently removed without destroying the form ofthe bolt.

It is another object of the invention to provide a sectional core whichmay be very easily and quickly assembled and arranged in position in thewinding machine, and the sections of which may be readily separated andremoved from the bolt, such removal being facilitated by the pressure ofthe cloth upon the core.

It is a more particular object of my invention to provide a device-forthe above purpose, embodying an elongated, tapering body sectionprovided with bearing rollers projecting from its opposite longitudinaledges, additional sections also tapering longitudinally and adapted toreceive said body section between them means connecting the additionalsections together at one of their 1 ends, and means on one end of saidbody l body section of the core.

section to hold the said sections in assembled relation. 7

With the above and other objects in view, my invention consists in thenovel features of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts tobe hereinafter more fully described, claimed andillustrated intheaccompanying drawing,;in which Figure 1" is a plan view of my improvedcloth winding core;

i Fig. '5 is a detail perspective view of the of the opposite Referringin detailto'the drawing, 5 designates the body section of my improvedcloth winding 'core which" is of elongated,

triangular form in plan andfpreferably con- Fig. 3 is an elevation ofone end of the structed of wood. This body member is made up of aplurality of sections connected together by the metal plates 6, the endsof said body sections being mortised on their opposite side faces toreceive said plates. The metal plates are rigidly fixed to the sectionsof the core body by means of rivets or other suitable fastening devicesindicated at 7. The opposed ends of the body sections are spaced fro-meach other, and bearing rollers 8 are arranged in these spaces betweenthe metal plates 6, said rollers being freely rotatable upon the pins 9fixed at their ends in said metal plates. It will be observed that apair of said bearing rollers are arranged between each pair of theconderstood that any desired number of the same may be provided. To thewider end of the core body 5, a metal band 10 is riveted or otherwiserigidly fixed, said band extending around the core body transverselythereof and projecting beyond its opposite longitudinal edges to providethe loops or pockets 11. An opening 12 is centrally formed through thismetal band and the end of the core body 5.

The other section of the core consists of two elongated, longitudinallytapering members 13 having the longitudinally inclined edges 14 disposedin opposed relation. These members are pivotally mounted upon the pinsor rivets 16 in a metal band 15 which surrounds their wider ends. Theseends of the members 13 are spaced from each other and the metal band isprovided with a central opening 17.

Tn assembling the parts, the body member 5'is disposed between themembers 13 and moved inwardly between the same. The points of themembers 13 engage in the guides or pockets 11 formed by the ends of themetal band 10 while the point of the body member 5 engages in the metalband 15, centrally thereof. The inner edges of the members 13 ride uponthe projecting bearing rollers 8, said rollers preventing frictionalcontact of the longitudinal edges of said members upon the edges of thebody member 5. Thus, a core of rectangular form is provided and the sameis now arranged in 2 I 1 ,2ss,soo

the machine in the usual manner and the in the openings of'the metalbands 10 and 16, the body, member 5 and the members 13 are pulledlongitudinally in opposite directions and separated. This separation ismore'easily effected if there is considerable pressure of the cloth boltupon the edges of the members 13 which is due to the fact that thebearing rollers 8 have frictional rolling contact upon each other, andowing to the longitudinally tapering form of the several parts of thecore, such pressure tends to cause the members 13 to shiftlongitudinally with respect to the member 5 in the proper direction,whereby the same are separated. V

It is the usual practice to wind cloth bolts upon a solid core orwinding board and this boardremains within the bolt and is sold by themanufacturer. Such winding boards are rapidly becoming, more expensiveand it isdesirable, therefore, to provide a winding core which can beeasily and quickly removed after the bolt is formed and repeatedly.resused. Bymeans of my invention above described, I have accomplishedthis desirable end in a very simple and inexpensive construction. Theremoval of the sectional core from the bolt of cloth does not in any waychange or destroy the form of the bolt.

From the foregoing description, taken in I x the construction, manner ofoperation and several advantages of the invention will be clearly andfully understood. It is apparent, of course, that the sectional core canbe constructed of any desired length or Width.

.By theprovision of the metal loops or bands,

the several parts are securely held in their assembled positions againstall liability of .separation after the cole has been placed inthemachine, As the several parts of the device are of exceedingly simpleform, it

'W-illfurther be. manifest that the same are exceedingly durable inpractical use.

.While I have shown and described the preferred construction andarrangement of the several parts, it is to be understood that v thedevice is susceptible of considerable modification therein and I,therefore, reserve the privilege of adopting all such legitimate changesas maybe fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention asHaving thus fully described my invention,
